Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting faults are provided. A method for determining a fault condition for a component of a drivetrain in a wind turbine can include receiving an acoustic signal from an acoustic signal measuring device. The method can further include receiving a vibration signal from a vibration signal measuring device. The method can further include analyzing the acoustic signal to determine an analyzed acoustic signal. The method can further include analyzing the vibration signal to determine an analyzed vibration signal. The method can further include determining a fault condition for the component based at least in part on the analyzed acoustic signal and analyzed vibration signal. The fault condition can further be determined based at least in part on an analyzed electrical signal.
